Gen, Sheridan's Report.

Gen. Sheridan, the commander OF the
armies OF the United States, has sent his re-
port to the Sec etary of War, and it, in the
terseness OF its sentences and the direct
ness OF its recommendations, reminds us
forclbly of that celebrated dispatch which
Caesar sent to Rome, reading Veni, Vidi,
I'ici.
Gen. Sheridan's report is model OF brew
ity and strength. Without attempting to
review the report or comment upon 1t gen.
orally, we simply say the general recon-.
mends larger instruction In rife practice,
and that magazine gun be adopted.
We cannot refrain from quoting what he
says upon our sea coast defenses, which
reads rs follows:
The condition of our sea coast dereuscs has
continued to deterloIate during the year, and
the majority of them, both as regards the ma.
teral Of which they are built, their location,
and present armament, would prove of but
little real service in time offoreign war. Strong
Notifications and heavy guns require several
years and large expenditure of money for
their construction, and while undoubtedly
necessary for II thorough defense, any maRsuros
ara worthy of careful consideration that prom
ise to secure quickly and at moderate cost
weapons always valuable as auxiliary means
of defense, but which, in the absence OF a
more complete system, might yet he utll,z d

paratively inexpensive to construct aud oper.
ate, and moreover appear, from recent expert
ments, TO produce within the limit Of their
range very conclusive results. ! believe the
Efforts Of Lieut., Zainski In this direction
should be eucouraged 1t Is not possible to pre-;
dict what their final issue may Ge, but that a
still further advance can be made seems very
probable, and an increased range and greater
explosive effect can fairly be anticipated,
And we most heartily indorse all that
Gen. Sheridan says in regard to the aid that
should be extended to the National Guard;
that is, the militia Of the different states,
and to forming encampments for their in
Etruction. On that subject he says;
am strongly in favor of the general govern
ment extending all possible aid to the Ma
tionGl Guard of the different states as they
constitute body of troops that in any great
emergency would form an important part Of
our military force. They should be armed
with the best weapons amply provided with
complete camp and garrison equpage, and in-
Etrueted IN the various drills and exercise &C.

than did Mr.. @. Il. Mcdowell when he
called the meeting to order, conducted the

The Times might have gone much further
and said that the Democrats owe their pres
ent success in carrying the legislature to
the votes, or the suppression of the votes Of
the colored men, as an analysis of the votes
will show that what are known as the white
counties Of Virginia were generally Repub-
lican. The Republican party is no longer
"the Niger party'' in Virginia, or the Dem

A board Of officers will shortly be con-

Of 5000 men Is strongly urged, and the
recommendation is made that the govern

that can be procured, provided one cannot
speedily be devised and made in this coun-
try.
The National Guard receives very strong
support from Gen. Sheridan. He recon-.
mends that they be armed with the best
weapon and provided with all necessary
personal and camp equipment. He says
"According to my observation and expert

and handle the gun well, but they are de.
flcient In discipline and in all the duties
that teach soldier to take care of himself

AUDITOR EIcKuoFFs REPORT.
Showing the Diplomatic and Consular
Expenditures.

Expenditures.
Fifth Auditor Eickhoff, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary Of the Treasury, shows
that during the year accounts were examined
involving the disbursement Of $922 ,S7S, ,9S2
in the diplomatic, consular, and internal
revenue services. In the consular service
there was an excess of $3l,7l7 of receipts
over expenditures, showing that the service
is not only self.sustaining but is a source OF
revenue. The auditor suggests that Con-
gress be asked to make annual appropria-
tons to cover payments to the diplomatic
and consular officers while awaiting In
structions, and also while In transit. Con-
sular fees amounted to S950G90, ex-
ceeding the amount OF any previous year.
There were relieved during the year $50
destitute seamen, against 1,235 In 1Ss6-one-
fourth less number Of seamen, yet the cost
to the government was nearly the same.
The average cost of seaman was 50 35 more
for 1887 than Tor 1856. The additional cost
is attributed to the increased allowance to
steamers for the transportation of seamen
to the United States authorized by the act
of June 10, 1886. The auditor recommends
that Congress be requested to provide for
the opening of a trust-fund account, into
which the wages OF seamen and the moneys
OF other persons mot deceased) shall be
paid whenever legal claim thereto shall be
established.
